The great thing about this is that he totally did use his connections to do so, on her abortive (unreleased, mostly unrecorded) first album, in 2002. Of folk songs. Written by her dad. I think we can both agree that it's non-existence is a blessing.

I sort of assumed that her father's identity would be worth one article per paper and that's it? I am willing to be contradicted, though. Certainly the ones I can find (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/4223221/Llly-Allen-uncertain-smile.html) talk about her second coming as her own work (though may of course be mythology)
